Children identify letter sounds as they explore kid-pleasing photos for each letter of the alphabet! Perfect for pocket
charts, language centers and more. Try these fun activities to help children learn to distinguish and recognize initial letter
sounds. (Letter X shows an object with the /x/ ending sound rather than the less common /z/ sound that begins words such as xylophone.)
Find the Sound
Choose photo cards for several letters with which children are familiar, and display them in random order. Name one of
the letters, and ask volunteers to come up and point to the matching photo card. Have the entire class repeat the name,
emphasizing the initial sound.
Picture Stories
Have children work in pairs or small groups. Give each group three photo cards and encourage them to work
together to make up a story using all three words. When they are ready, invite them to hold up their photo cards
and share their story with the class.
Preparation: Simply fold the pages on the solid lines and cut along the dashed lines.
